CENTRINNO reactivates post-industrial areas by embedding Fab City Hubs within local manufacturing ecosystems. It connects makers, SMEs, municipalities, and cultural actors to rebuild productive capacity at neighborhood scale. The project operationalizes Fab City’s ambition to produce more locally while remaining globally connected.
CENTRINNO gives the Fab City Hub model operational depth. It tests how hubs function not only as spaces but as coordination nodes linking policy, production, and community. Across pilot cities, it maps local ecosystems, activates collaborations, and integrates circular economy principles into place-based strategies. For the Global Initiative, CENTRINNO provides tested methodologies. It strengthens the network’s ability to move from scattered labs toward coordinated production systems. The knowledge generated now circulates across new Fab City Hubs and informs how localities structure governance, map resources, and build long-term capacity.
The project delivers the Fab City Hubs Toolkit, ecosystem mapping tools, governance experiments, implementation roadmaps, and policy inputs. These remain foundational resources within the Fab City Network for hub development and circular transition strategies.
